FD Series 2-Wire Decoders

Out of sight. Out of mind.

Rain Bird® Field Decoders provide easy, cost-effective installation and expansion for the ESP-LXD Decoder Controller. Ruggedly constructed for years of reliable performance, these decoders are installed out of sight to help protect them from the elements and vandalism.

Select different decoders to operate one, two, four, or six valves/solenoids. Five different decoders let you choose the amount of control you need.

2-Wire Decoder Models

FD-101TURF: Field Decoder interfacing signal line and individual valve.

FD-102TURF: Field Decoder interfacing signal line and valve or one pair of valves.

FD-202TURF: Field Decoder interfacing signal line and 2 valves or 2 pair of valves.

FD-401TURF: Field Decoder interfacing signal line and up to 4 individual valves.

FD-601TURF: Field Decoder interfacing signal line and up to 6 individual valves.

Rain Bird® ESP-LXD Decoder Controller

Combine Rain Bird® FD Series 2-Wire Decoders with the ESP-LXD Controller to deliver powerful control for larger commercial sites. Expandable for up to 200 stations, the ESP-LXD combines Extra Simple Programming with an efficient 2-wire path. Flow Management is built in to every ESP-LXD and you have the option of adding weather-based control. Learn more about the ESP-LXD Decoder Controller.
